He says Joe won’t fight anoth er negro . . . Jimmy claims he of- j fered Joe fights with John Henry | Lewis and Jack Trammell, but Joe said no . . . Jimmy would like to make something out of it—even at 1 Christmas time. Maybe you've never heard of the Jamaica Kid ... in the old days he wn the happiest man , In the fight racket, a gigantic. Jolly, laughing negro ... He , never got very far and finally ( got to renting himself out as a ( punching bag at the fight camps ( . . . Now he stands outside the New York fight clubs begging ( .... His body is broken, his ( sight completely gone . . . Even the laugh is a little hollow now .... A sign—the most pathetic ’ sign on Broadway — hangs j around his neck: “Please held j me. I am Jamaica Kid,’’ It , reads .... They say, too, that ( Sam Langford's sight is al- , most gone now ... It has been ebbing for years, and now he , can distinguish little more than < light and dark. Mayor John Boyd Thacher of Al bany wants the Albany baseball team In Albany, which seems logi cal enough . . . Mayor Prank Hague of Jersey City wants the Albany team In Jersey City . . . Why not one of those New Jersey "no-decis ion" bouts between the two to de cide the issue? .... Powel Crosley, owner of the Reds, has announced his displeasure over a decision by Commissioner Landis . . . But It’s doubtful If Crosley will try to ques tion the judge’s dictatorship . . . . In picking their All-America teams, the boys really gave the freedom of the press a workout ... Ed Wid seth of Minnesota, Larry Kelley of Yale and Gaynell Tinsley of L. s. U. were the only players chosen by all the leading selectors . . . Inci dentally, how did Tinsley ever get through three years of football with out losing that front name?

TALK TO PARENTS Chasing Rainbows By BROOKE PETERS Cllt RCH For a mother and father dcliber- j ately to court old age, and by neg- i lect permit themselves to grow old prematurely, Is a great pity. But It ’ Is possible to go quite as far Wrong In the opposite direction. By thej effort to look and act younger than j they are, parents may become rid- j icuious ana lose me rcsix'ci ui me young. The child who feels or says "Be your age" to or about his parents is not In an enviable position - nor are the parents. There is the father Who has never passed the rah-rail stage of tire sophomore. He may enjoy sport ing with the young things, but Is he sure that they enjoy him? There is the girlish mother still breathing baby talk in her son's ear and clinging to him like a flapper. Or one sees mother and daughter out together, looking equally vivacious and coy, except that mother's com plexion is more obviously out of a box. If one’s object In life Is to stay young, it really is a mistake to have a family. How’ can one guide and train children to maturity when i one's own Ideals are still adoles cent? There are many mothers to whom the greatest compliment they can i\ceivr Is. "You look like your owm daughter.’* That Is their am- . bition in life; not wisdom, nor ma- 1 turity, nor the graciousness of years accepted. The adolescence from which they haie never emerged Is more than skin-deep too. for the effort to de tain youth nnri push off old age occupies so much of their time that they cannot achieve the develop ment of mind and spirit which life .should bring. There is much that youth has not and cannot have, much joy and peace of mind that only maturity can bring. Why throw these away ! to chase a mirage?
